How a Power Steering Pump Works

  • Here's how a power steering pump works to provide pressure to the power steering rack on your car.
    A power steering pump is essentially a vane pump. Inside, a rotor with translating vanes rotates inside an eccentric cam housing.
    The vanes are flung toward the outside of the cam housing on either side where pockets are formed. As the rotor rotates, the pockets become smaller as the vanes retract. This creates a high pressure zone on one end, and a low pressure zone on the other end, driving the fluid flow.
    Power steering pumps are self regulating, in that they can regulate the flow of the fluid coming out as the engine RPM increases. Inside the flow control valve consists of a ball and a spring. Excess fluid is pumped pass the spring and back out to the low pressure inlet port. That's how the steering effort is not over-boosted at higher speeds.

      i have a 2012 dodge charger srt8 with a steering pump similar to the one shown in video. The o-ring seal where the reservoir connects to the pump broke causing a major leak.....i took the pump off and apart.....replaced all the seals....reassembled (i took notes and pics) i filled with ATF-4 as requested......I turned the wheel back and fourth over 100 times.....i put a vacuum on the reservoir while turning side to side....i just cant get power steering at idle....when accelerating power sterring works fine.....has a constant whinning.....I never had any issue with the power steering before. I took the pump off a 2nd time....reassembled....same issue. Any idea what could be causing this? Something I'm overlooking? I just ordered a ref Mopar p/s pump from rockauto.....Im thinking my pump is fine and maybe the r/p is bad......but Ive never had an issue ever with it......could there be a pocket of air......no leaks anywhere and i put the steering through hell on a mountain pass trying to break something but it kept going and going.......just loud whinning and no power steering at idle.....I have nerve damage in my forearms so I cant deal with this much longer......any advice or ideas would ve greatly greatly appreciated. Thank You in advance.​@speedkar99

    This is an ingenious idea that they came up with. They knew that Blade / Fan Type wouldn't work, so rotating " Vanes " would be a better option and longer lasting :D.

    • @speedkar99
      @speedkar99  6 років тому

      +Jordan Bronson it is quite interesting, in that it differs from an oil pump (tranny and engine), the vanes here adjust to wear as they grind down so it lasts long.
